What happened to the ATI Radeon Reference drivers on the ATI web site? Did ATI start creating driver sets that work with both ATI-manufactured and ATI-chipset Radeon graphics cards?

ATi reference drivers are still at their site,you can use ATi drivers with "powered by ATi" cards,using them now with my Sapphire model,this is what ATi has to say,

Q7: Where can I find drivers for my Partner Product?

A7: Most Partner Product manufacturers offer driver updates through their website or the support contact information that accompanies the product. Additionally, Partner Product boards can use the ATI retail driver.

It is recommended that drivers from the manufacturer of the Partner Product be used before trying the retail driver. Feature enhancements provided by the Partner Product manufacturer will be lost when using ATI retail drivers. ATI retail drivers are provided as an extra alternative solution for customers and are fully supported by ATI. Retail drivers are provided here
